Funny, when I drove up Hillside to the dead end later that day, I actually saw

Couldn't tell if the tread was Ruffy-Tuffy, though. ;-)

Takashi that Hunq looks great! I love that grey-red color scheme and the
fenders really set it off. So far my XO3's readiness had exceeded my own

Call RBW. They would know if it is safe or not.
You also may be voiding your frame's un-warranty. So talk to RBW.
Idea: ask if it is ok to drill and braze on a tail light hole mount in the
seat tube. You could run a wire there and use the Compass Cycles tail light
they make for just that
If you see a Ram for sure, I would recommend having the police go with you to
the house, and have your proof of purchase receipt in hand, or some other proof
of ownership, or the owner might contest ownership.
Just go with the cops. Don't go knockin on the door or jumpin fences to steal
it
Did go ahead with this project? Curious to see what a stripped/blasted
frame looks like. My Atlantis will need a repaint someday soon…

Downside would be that powdercoating doesn't protect against rust, unless you
apply a paint primer first.
Does Powder Coating prevent rust?
Powder Coating is durable and very long-lasting depending on its environment
and how the items are used. It is not, however, a rust prevention.

What exactly do you want to run on your albatross cockpit? Do you want to run
8 speed index with the shifters mounted as barcons? Or do you want to run them
as thumbies? Or would friction be OK? Let me know because I could probably

Drilling a hole for a lighting wire should only void the warranty if that
is what causes the problem. So if your frame fails, and the crack clearly
started at the hole, you wouldn't want to make a warranty claim. But if
your frame fails where the downtube enters the bottom bracket shell, no
